Description

Imaging broadband from heavily light polluted locations is painful and no joke in terms image processing.

This image is nothing to write home about but I was able to pull out some colors out of light pollution.

Integration is 6h L and 45mins per filter (RGB) and compared to a dark location (say SQM 21) you could have achieved the "same" (read way better" ) result in about 16x less time....).

Better this than 0 imaging anyway!
